Global Campus Online Degree Completion Checklist
Since 1961, Southwestern College has helped hundreds of thousands of local college students take their jobs and careers to new heights. With 5 locations across the South San Diego County area, Southwestern College offers more than 300 academic programs across 11 fields of study, which include associate’s degrees, professional certificates, and apprenticeship opportunities. In 2018, nearly half of all Southwestern College students transferred into other universities to enroll in four-year bachelor’s degree programs.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all in-person components of this program have either been paused, rescheduled, or moved into a virtual format until further notice.
Please email SWCTransferCenter@swccd.edu or call (619) 482-6472 to learn how these changes affect your program. SDSU will continue to monitor the situation and follow the guidance of our local and federal health agencies.
